1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo describe adverse events following COVID-19 immunisation (AEFI) and participation in AusVaxSafety surveillance in a Queensland regional community.

methodsParticipants presenting for second dose COVID-19 vaccine at the Hervey Bay Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service (WBHHS) vaccine clinic in July 2021 completed a survey pertaining to their first COVID-19 vaccine. Data collected included participation in AusVaxSafety surveillance, vaccine type (BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) or ChAdOx1-S(Oxford/AstraZeneca), AEFI experienced and impact on work/routine activities. Multivariable logistic regression related demographic factors to odds of surveillance participation and AEFI occurrence.

resultsOf 1,148 participants, 37.6% participated in AusVaxSafety surveillance and 44.8% reported an AEFI. Participation in surveillance was higher in older (≥50 vs <50 years: OR 1.36, 95%CI:1.04-1.78) and less-educated participants (university vs. high school/below: OR 0.68, 95%CI:0.48-0.95). Reporting an AEFI was higher in younger (≥50 years vs. <50 years: BNT162b2: OR 0.69, 95%CI:0.51-0.93; ChAdOx1-S: OR 0.42, 95%CI:0.10-1.89), female (female vs. male: BNT162b2: OR 2.28, 95%CI:1.67-3.12; ChAdOx1-S: OR 1.85, 95%CI:1.17-2.94) and more educated participants (university vs. high school/below: BNT162b2:OR 1.63, 95%CI: 1.08-2.45; ChAdOx1-S: OR 3.98, 95%CI:2.03-7.79). Of participants with an AEFI, 15% reported missing work/routine activities.

conclusionsParticipation in surveillance was modest in this regional population, despite AEFI being frequent, and impacts of absenteeism in this setting warrants further research. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: The findings can inform strategies to improve surveillance participation and inform workforce planning in regional areas.
